"Old Heavenly Master, I'm sorry. I made a mistake." Dustin apologized with an embarrassed look.

"Hahaha... It's okay, I don't mind this."

Zhang Xuanji laughed heartily, then waved at Zhang Yuzhen: "Yuzhen, take out this little brother's reward."

"Yes."

Zhang Yuzhen responded, then took out a jade box and placed it on the table next to Dustin.

"Little guy, open it and have a look." Zhang Xuanji smiled and gestured.

Dustin nodded, then opened the jade box with both hands.

In the jade box, there were three crystal clear beads.

One gold, one red, and one green.

The three beads of different colors emitted a faint light, and in each bead, there was a small snake of the same color.

The small snake rolled and surged in the bead, which was extremely spiritual.

"Dragon source energy?!"

After seeing the three beads, Dustin's eyes lit up.

He had found a dragon source energy before, so he recognized the origin of the three beads at a glance.

However, he never expected that there were three dragon source energy gathering in Longhu Mountain.

What kind of Feng Shui treasure land is this?

"How is it? You should be satisfied with the reward, right?" Zhang Xuanji asked with a smile.

"Old Heavenly Master, how did you know I needed this?" Dustin couldn't hide his surprise.

"Master is very smart, and the world's situation cannot escape his eyes." Zhang Yuzhen said proudly.

"You are worthy of being the old Heavenly Master. I admire you!" Dustin clasped his hands and saluted.

As the saying goes, you can't find it even if you try hard, but you can get it without any effort.

He didn't expect that the dragon source energy was so easy to get, and three at a time.

He had obtained four of the five dragon source energy, and only the last one was left.

"Don't be too happy yet."

Zhang Xuanji smiled and said: "The Dragon Source Qi determines the general trend of the world, and it will definitely attract countless forces to fight for it. Now that it has fallen into your hands, it is both a good thing and a disaster. You have to weigh it carefully. Do you want to take this hot potato?"

"Junior is entrusted by others, and I must be loyal to them. I must have the Dragon Source Qi. I will do my best to protect it." Dustin looked serious.

"Very good, the men of my Dragonmarsh should have such blood." Zhang Xuanji smiled and nodded.

"Old Heavenly Master, you gave me a great gift, and I also have a message to give you." Dustin suddenly changed the subject.

"Oh? Tell me." Zhang Xuanji raised his eyebrows.

"The Pantheon of the Western World has sent masters to sneak into Longhu Mountain. Their target is the forbidden area of ​​Longhu Mountain. I wonder if it is for the Dragon Source Qi? Or is there another purpose?" Dustin spoke truthfully.

"Pantheon?"

Zhang Xuanji narrowed his eyes, but still smiled: "They are quite courageous, daring to attack Longhu Mountain."

"The enemy is well prepared, so we have to be on guard." Dustin said.

"Yuzhen, I'll leave this matter to you. Anyone who trespasses into the forbidden area will be killed." Zhang Xuanji smiled and said a murderous word.

"Yes!"

Zhang Yuzhen responded and turned away.

Recently, the area around Longhu Mountain is really not very clean, and it's time to clean it up.

"Little guy, do you want to know what is hidden in the forbidden area of ​​Longhu Mountain?" Zhang Xuanji suddenly asked.

"This... is not something I should know, right?" Dustin was a little unsure about what the person in front of him was planning.

"It's not a shocking secret, so it's okay to tell you."

Zhang Xuanji took a sip of the teacup, then smiled and said, "The reason why Dragonmarsh is becoming more and more powerful is because the country is prosperous and unstoppable; there are three things related to the country's destiny, time, place, and people.

The so-called time is a mysterious thing, involving the law of the operation of the way of heaven. I have not yet fully understood it, so I won't explain it here.

As for the location, it represents the environment, represents the mountains and rivers, represents the rich products, and what affects all of this is the dragon vein hidden in the ground.

The strength of the dragon vein determines whether the country is prosperous.

And people are related to the ruler of Dragonmarsh and some people with good fortune.

The real ruler of Dragonmarsh in the past was Li Yuanwu, the owner of the Dragon Protection Pavilion.

This person controls the royal dragon vein, and is greedy for money, persecutes loyal people, and makes people in the government and the country panic.

Thanks to your master who risked his life to kill him with one sword.

He killed Li Yuanwu and the Dragon Protection Pavilion, and at the same time, he let the dragon vein escape and return to heaven and earth.

This noble act makes me admire him."

Hearing this, Dustin's eyes dimmed, but soon returned to normal: "I already know what the old master said, but what does this have to do with the Longhu Mountain Forbidden Land?"

"To be honest, there is more than one dragon vein in Dragonmarsh."

Zhang Xuanji smiled meaningfully: "Aren't you curious, why do we have three dragon source auras in Longhu Mountain? What attracted them here?"

"The old master means that there is another dragon vein hidden under the Longhu Mountain Forbidden Land?!" Dustin quickly reacted.

"That's right."

Zhang Xuanji nodded: "This is also the reason why I have been in Longhu Mountain for many years and have never left. My duty is to protect this dragon vein.

It is not only about the fortune of Longhu Mountain, but also the fortune of the entire Dragonmarsh."

"No wonder... No wonder the royal dragon vein was destroyed, and Dragonmarsh has not been turbulent. It turns out that there is another dragon vein under Longhu Mountain that maintains the national fortune." Dustin suddenly realized.

"Yes, it is also because of the fortune of this dragon vein that I have the current cultivation and can barely survive to this day." Zhang Xuanji said the secret without hesitation.

He guarded the dragon vein, and the dragon vein also gave him feedback, allowing his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, and he became an existence that everyone needs to look up to.

"Old Tianshi told me this, is there any other meaning?" Dustin asked tentatively.

"Smart."

Zhang Xuanji smiled and nodded: "Human power will eventually reach its limit. I am almost two hundred years old. My time is coming and I am no longer able to guard the dragon vein. So before I die, I need to find a successor, and you are the most suitable candidate!" - Ton

Interception

Li Guanglong’s fingers gently stroked the ornate box, the chill of its silken surface seeping into his fingertips, yet it could not mask the damp sweat pooling in his palm. He glanced at Murong Xue, who was locked in a drinking contest with Batu. Murong was tilting back his head, draining a large bowl of amber-colored liquor. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, and in the corner of his eye he cast a fleeting glance toward the copper kettle in the corner of the igloo. That was where they had hidden the prepared knockout drug --- brewed from a poisonous herb of the icefields that gave off a sweet aroma. Once mixed into strong liquor, it was nearly impossible to detect. “Leader Batu truly has a mighty capacity for drink!” Murong Xue slammed his empty bowl down on the table, sending ice shards scattering. “This ‘ice-burn’ liquor cuts like a blade. Ordinary men collapse after three bowls, yet you remain unshaken. Truly worthy of being called the eagle of the snowfields!” Batu r...

Seeking Medicine for a Father

When Li Weimin’s decree was issued, reactions across the factions varied. At that moment, Li Wenxing was in his study, weighing the pros and cons of the recent trip to Southern Frontier. Although he hadn’t stood out much, compared to Li Guanglong and Li Juntang, he was still the more capable one. But this minor advantage clearly wasn’t enough to change the overall outcome. Just then, Qian Jin rushed in and reported, “Your Highness! A message from the palace --- His Majesty’s condition has worsened, and he has only a short time left. He has issued a special decree: any royal family member who can journey to Penglai Island and retrieve the elixir will become the future crown prince!” “Future crown prince?” Hearing this, Li Wenxing’s spirits lifted immediately. But soon after, he frowned. He had, of course, heard of Penglai Island --- but only in legends. Whether it truly existed in the East Sea, and whether it held any elixir that could extend life, remained unknown. ...

The Sea Monster Beneath

Margaret stood before a mountain of nautical charts, her fingertips gliding gently over the yellowed parchment. The cinnabar-red routes drawn on them looked like congealed trails of blood, glowing eerily under the flickering candlelight. When Dustin pushed open the door, he saw her tucking a thick stack of leather-bound ledgers into a rosewood chest. Glimpses of titles like Fresh Water Reserves and Ration Allocations showed her meticulous planning for the upcoming voyage. “Any news from the fishermen?” Dustin asked. Margaret looked up, her eyes reflecting the deepening twilight outside the window. “Su Lan just got back from the harbor. Found an old fisherman with the surname Qin.” “He claims he saw a mirage near the Blackwater Trench three years ago. Said there were floating pavilions and jade towers among the clouds, and at the front stood a stone tablet carved with the word ‘Penglai.’” She paused, tapping her fingers on the desk. “But the old man said the vision lasted ...
